I don't like to say it but in Malaysia I felt like I was breathing again. I felt like things were made for Human life.
Here in the States it feels like our environment is never about making our lives easier (and certainly not better).
It's aggressive. It's hostile.

I didn't leave the States for 10 years and now I almost wish I hadn't because I had forgotten what it was like not just being able to walk everywhere in a city but actually enjoying walking in a city.

I don't regret moving to the States.
As a trans non-binary person this is still the best place to be even with all the hatred we face.
But it's also one of the most dehumanizing living environment I've ever seen.

"You go talk to kindergartners or first-grade kids, you find a class full of #science enthusiasts. They ask deep questions. They ask, "What is a #dream, why do we have #toes, why is the #moon round, what is the birthday of the #world, why is #grass #green?"These are profound, important #questions. They just #bubble right out of them.You go talk to 12th graders and there's none of that. They've become #incurious.Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade." #CarlSagan

💚+ 🇪🇺 = more jobs!

The green transition can create 1 million additional jobs in the EU by 2030, across all sectors.

To create a skilled workforce that will thrive in the #green economy, we need to:

💚 promote and support green employment,
🔧 address the skilling and reskilling of workers,
🧑‍💼 anticipate changes in workplaces of the future.

Our #EUDataCrunch demonstrates how #climate action is already providing the #jobs and opportunities of the future ↓

#EUGreenDeal #EuropeanYearOfSkills

- Sustainability manager - 30%

- 1 million workers in the solar sector by 2030
- Up to 54,000 workers in the renewable offshore energy sector by 2025"


By way of #introductions: I am 57-year-old Australian father living in #Berlin.

I have a doctorate in psychology, and have worked both inside and outside academia over the last 20 years (in Los Angeles, Boson, London, Berlin).

Nowadays, I am mostly involved in looking after my two children—Lucy 7.5, and Valentin 1.7.

I am interested in #green #progressive #politics, #science, #technology, #books (#scifi #non-fiction), #photography.

I look forward to meeting some like-minded people here.

Refugee from pluspora


Since pluspora seems to be closing, I decided to take refuge at nerdica for a change. I hope to reconnect with old friends and new ones.

My interests include, but are not limited to: #rpg #ttrpg #Shadowrun #boardgame #lego #starwars #theexpanse #tech #green #libertariansocialism #pluspora #GooglePlus #googleplus-refugees
